ABSTRACT:
A universal joint includes a pair of half round yokes, a cross member and retainer straps. The retainer straps include a main body portion and two end portions, where the end portions have retainer faces for mating with the yoke faces, where the main body portion has a curved inside retainer surface positioned between the end portions and adapted to conform to the shape of the bearing cup and to cooperate with the yoke surface to retain the bearing cup. The retainer strap has a curved outside surface which extends from one end of the retainer strap to the other to provide extra strength at the end portions of the retainer strap.
